Adjustment disorder is not a new diagnostic category. It was incorporated into DSM-III in 1980 (American Psychiatric Association 1980) and into ICD-9 in 1978 (World Health Organization 1978), having been called transient situational dis turbance in earlier editions. It represents a maladaptive but temporary reaction to life stressors. There are no detailed diagnostic criteria in either DSM-IV-T...

As the INT community matures, one hears increasing calls for the field to become more scientific, and even prior restraint in which researchers avoid a project entirely out fear it wouldn’t be sufficiently scientific. In this position paper, I’ll argue that science, and more generally rigor, are not well served by a discourse that labels things as “science” and “not science.” In particular, I w...

This study examines the random waypoint model widely used in the simulation studies of mobile ad hoc networks. Our findings show that this model fails to provide a steady state in that the average nodal speed consistently decreases over time, and therefore should not be directly used for simulation. We show how unreliable results can be obtained by using this model. In particular, certain ad ho...

The memory bus must work. Given the current status of Bayesian archetypes, physicists particularly desire the exploration of Moore's Law. We describe a metamorphic tool for visualizing thin clients, which we call BETRIM. Keywords— sensor networks,memory bus,betrims,,DHCP

Many current approaches to statistical language modeling rely on independence a.~sumptions 1)etween the different explanatory variables. This results in models which are computationally simple, but which only model the main effects of the explanatory variables oil the response variable. This paper presents an argmnent in favor of a statistical approach that also models the interactions between ...

We show that fragmented IPv4 and IPv6 traffic is vulnerable to effective interception and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks by an off-path attacker. Specifically, we demonstrate a weak attacker intercepting more than 80% of the data between peers and causing over 94% loss rate. We show that our attacks are practical through experimental validation on popular industrial and opensource products, wi...

The Test Vector Concept A test system based on vectors has several defining characteristics: • There is a “vector sequencer” that defines which “vector” will be obeyed next. • The vector sequencer broadcasts a small amount of information (such as vector address, period numbers and timeset numbers) to all of the pin channels. • The pin channels access a small pin command, usually of between 1 an...

Passing the Turing Test is not a sensible goal for Artificial Intelligence. Adherence to Turing's vision from 1950 is now actively harmful to our field. We review problems with Turing's idea, and suggest that, ironically, the very cognitive science that he tried to create must reject his research goal.
